The Schedule'referred to in these Letters Patent and making park ofthe` hama.

To all whoma't may concern Be it known that I, PHrLIP P. J oser, of Buffalo, in the county of Erie, and State oi' New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Supports for Egg-Carriers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference heilig had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which-\ Figure l is a perspective view of my-invention.
